1 Vinde, meninos, vinde a Jesus!
Ele ganhou-vos bênçãos na cruz!
Os pequeninos Ele conduz.
Oh, vinde ao Salvador!

Refrain:
Que alegria! Sem pecado ou mal,
Reunir-nos todos, afinal,
Na santa pátria celestial,
Com nosso Salvador!

2 Cristo vos ama: bem Ele o diz;
Quer receber-vos no bom país,
Quer conceder-vos vida feliz.
Oh, vinde ao Salvador!

3 Eis a chamada: "Oh, vinde a Mim!"
Outro não há que vos ame assim;
Seu é o amor que nunca tem fim!
Oh, vinde ao Salvador!

Root, George F., MUS. DOC, born in Sheffield, Berkshire County, Mass., Aug. 30, 1820. He is much more widely known as a composer of popular music than as a hymn writer. Four of his hymns are in I. D. Sankey's Sacred Songs & Solos, 1878. Nos. 16, 100, 293, and 297. A sympathetic biographical sketch, with portrait, is in The Tonic Sol-Fa Reporter, Sep. 1886. He died Aug. 6, 1895. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)… Go to person page >
